Can someone help me find my ancestors?

Question

my families are haszonics&barnes

Answer 1

I agree with the answerer above me, you really have to talk to your relatives if you want to get any solid information but if you can't do that then it will take a lot of research time and yes, maybe money. I have a subsription to Ancestry.com, it's isn't cheap but is cheaper if you do the monthly. I can give you some information on these surnames below and I will put the links in the source box for you. Good luck on your search. :)

Info. on Barnes surname, couldn't find any one Haszonics, is there an alternate spelling?

English: topographic name or metonymic occupational name for someone who lived by or worked at a barn or barns, from Middle English barn ‘barn’, ‘granary’. In some cases, it may be a habitational name from Barnes (on the Surrey bank of the Thames in London), which was named in Old English with this word.

English: name borne by the son or servant of a barne, a term used in the early Middle Ages for a member of the upper classes, although its precise meaning is not clear (it derives from Old English beorn, Old Norse barn ‘young warrior’). Barne was also occasionally used as a personal name (from an Old English, Old Norse byname), and some examples of the surname may derive from this use.

Irish: possibly an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Bearáin ‘descendant of Bearán’, a byname meaning ‘spear’.

French: variant of Bern.

Jewish: variant of Parnes.

Answer 3

You will have to be more specific as to when and where they lived but if you are looking for where the Haszonics came from (too many Barnes to list):

Answer 4

Simple Answer: Begin with your parents. Find out WHERE they know they came from and HOW they come to know that. Next go to the people your parents claim to be related to or from. Ask them the same question and get as much ancestral information as possible. Then move back ONE more genealogy level. Repeat each step exactly as before until you no longer find leads.

Good luck. It may take a life time but what's time when one is looking for our roots?

Answer 5

Your first roadblock is not being specific.  Research is not about surnames, but finding your RELATIVES.  In order to be sure of that, you take it one step at a time (as mentioned above), from yourself backwards, and use documentation for every single fact you have.

Compare- "I am looking for Barnes"

to

"I need to find the date of death for John Barnes who lived in London in 1983".  

Like many researchers.. you probably started by asking questions at home or from relatives.  Have you made sure that you found records to verify what they said? that is probably the 2nd biggest block.. not getting the documentation (which will turn out to have more info than you expected, OR can disprove what you were told).

the more you can be explicit, the more we can help.
